Hello

First of all I want to say, that Pongsari is amazing theme. But I just have to problems…

1. How to change font used in titles of posts to some standard font? Font used in Pongsari don’t support polish letters special characters.
2. On IE 9 RC this fancy font completely disappeared… Look at this example:
http://izbieractwo.pl/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/pongsari-ie-fail.jpg

So I back to my previous theme :/

  open footer.php and delete these lines:
```
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/cufon-yui.js"> </script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/lobster.cufonfonts.js"> </script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		Cufon.replace('#site-title, .entry-title, h3.widget-title, #comments-title, #footer #site-info, #reply-title',  { hover: 'true' });
	</script>
```

Thank you for your answer. It’s working. I have one question more. What should I do, if I want to show all content of my posts on main page? I don’t want hide it after “Continue reading →”.

  Open loop.php, in line 46, replace the_excerpt() with the_content()
  
  also delete these lines,
  if($counter == 0 || $counter == 1 || $counter == 4 || $counter == 5 || $counter == 8 || $counter == 9 || $counter == 12 || $counter == 13)
  {the_post_thumbnail(array(150,150), array (‘class’ => ‘alignleft’)); }
  else
  {the_post_thumbnail(array(150,150), array (‘class’ => ‘alignright’)); }
  $counter++;
  
  they are in line 40 to 44

    Do you plan to add post format support – feature from new WordPress? I think it would be a great idea. Now there is a lack of this kind of themes.

First of all, it is a beautiful theme. But I have a problem. I’m using Lightbox to have produced images. When the lightbox is active, the widget Titel does not contain hidden but hang right in the picture.

Is there a solution. To look at the problem, please click the following article on the first image.

  Hi elmoo,
  This theme is still standard, wordpress alone is good for SEO but you can optimize the SEO with some plugins, here: All in One SEO Pack or WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast.

Then I can’t put these words in my post title because it goes as “uberlndia”. How can I change the posts titles font?

Thank you very much.

  If your theme has erros with Latin characters, do as bellow:Download the Javascript Kit with Lobster Font: http://www.cufonfonts.com/en/font/286/lobster
  
  Replace in your template directory “/js”

E.g. apostrophes, dashes

I’ve switched to Google fonts to use the lobster font but having the same problem.. is there any way around this?

Hi!
I love this theme, but I have a few questions.
When I download from the main page, the theme I get is still labeled Version 1.0. Where can I get version 1.1?

Second, post pictures do not display on Blog view. I think this is because I cannot find version 1.1 for download. If not, how can I enable thumbnails?

Thanks!

Hi,

great theme, thanks for making it freely accessible.

I have two questions:

1) As MareAstra pointed out in her/his post, the version downloaded from this site is labeled ’1.0′ when installed in WordPress. Is this just a labeling error or is it still the older version?

2) How can I integrate my Twitter account? According to one of your posts, this should be possible in version 1.1.

Would be fantastic if you could help me out with these questions!

Thanks in advance,
Philipp

Hello, I love this theme. You’ve done a great job with it and I already implemented it on my development site. I hope soon it will be on production website and the first thing that stops me to put it live is that on Internet Explorer the title of the website and of the posts are not displayed( they dissapear). These are displayed only in compatibility view mode from IE 9 and the menu is displayed wrong afterwards and the shadow of the content dissapears. Do you know how I can fix it?

Have a look please on dev.fotoevents.ro
